Actually, In A Mustero Kind Of Way, This 1968 Mustang Pickup Is Pretty Neat
DEBARYLIFE – A Florida Ford shop owner and his daughter worked on the pickup’s construction in the 1980s.
The customized Mustang is a tribute to the pricey and uncommon “Mustero” trucks that Beverly Hills Ford produced in the latter part of the 1960s.
The vendor is asking $18,000 on eBay and states that overall, it’s in fair condition.
Though I’m going to argue that in this case, the conversion has produced a cool vehicle (or should that be a truck?) that you could purchase, some Ford aficionados may find the idea of converting a 1968 Mustang into a pickup truck sacrilegious.
The source vehicle that was utilized to build this custom ute wasn’t all that fascinating, to start. The modification wasn’t a huge loss to the Mustang reserves because it still runs on a boring six-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission.
Second, the car you see here was constructed as a father-daughter project in the 1980s by a man who had a Mustang shop in Florida. That not only tells the sweet genesis tale of the truck, but also indicates that the truck was put together expertly.

Ultimately, this conversion has precedent. This Mustang is a tribute to the Musteros that Beverly Hills Ford produced in the late 1960s, according to its owner. Only 50 of the modified cars were produced, according to Silodrome, and they were not only extremely rare but also highly costly.
In 1966, the truck was just $500 less expensive than a Lamborghini Miura and more expensive than a Shelby Mustang GT350, costing $6,500.

While it might not be an original Mustero, the burgundy paint and burgundy interior work well on it. In addition, the truck’s vendor claims that it has a new battery, water pump, heater core, rear bumper, rearview mirror, and other parts.
Although it isn’t technically new, the Mustero homage is likewise in good shape with very little rust and has about 128,000 miles (205,996 km) on the odometer. It shifts and drives smoothly, according to the owner, despite that.
The homage truck is up for sale on eBay with a $18,000 asking price. Does the personalized vehicle appeal to your inner motorhead?
